Hey Cheryl,
That’s gotta be frustrating. Nothing like going camping for some peace and quiet and people are blasting their radios all around you.

Hey, I would always start with a song you want to learn, and dive into learning that song’s chords, transitions, and strum pattern. Narrow your focus to just that song, and practice every day, at least 15 minutes […]

Yes, that’s the idea. Obviously, some will sound better than others, but it can work with many of these different options. As you said, the most important factor is the length of the measures. Is the song in 4/4 time, 3/4 time, or 6/8 time? Once you have that determined, then you can fill in those measures with whole note strumming, half note, quarter, 8th, or 16th note strumming.

Cheryl, that is a great purpose, and should keep you motivated to continue learning.
I agree that music is a universal language, and transcends other forms of communication. It is a wonderful thing to be able to create your own music, and I hope you are able to achieve that one day as well.
Thanks for sharing your story with us!
